Asunción, Agencia IP.- Rating agency Moody’s confirmed Paraguay’s sovereign credit rating at Baa3, within the investment-grade category, with a stable outlook, citing the country’s strong economic growth performance, according to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF).
This marks the second consecutive year that Paraguay has maintained the achievement reached in July 2024, when it obtained investment-grade status. Later, in December of last year, the country received its second investment-grade rating for government-issued bonds from rating agency Standard & Poor’s.
In its latest assessment, Moody’s indicated that Paraguay’s credit profile is supported by a credible monetary policy, a track record of price stability, and political stability, according to the MEF statement.
The rating agency considers these factors to help maintain a low overall exposure to risks that could affect the country’s ability to meet payment obligations when issuing bonds (debt securities) in international markets.
Investment-grade status provides investors with confidence in the Paraguayan government’s favorable conditions to attract investment and honor its commitments to creditors.
In 2025, Paraguay recorded its highest level of foreign direct investment (FDI) since the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) began keeping records, reaching USD 1.18 billion.
